Finally!

It took me a minute to find my size in these but once I did, I'm very happy with them. I have the mid-rise version of these shorts in a medium (and most of my leggings are a medium), and felt like I was between a medium and large in these because I'm a little thicker in the middle and the thicker wa...

Fit is off

I exclusively buy Athleta clothes for my workouts. They hold up incredibly well and usually have a flattering fit. The Mesh Racer being my favorite short. This new version is not flattering at all though. The waste-band is terribly high and bulky! I'm a petite woman-4'11 about 115 lbs, athletic buil...

The fit is great. I have several pair. The color is a bit see through. I just wear a longer tank.

good fit, great new color, and it was on sale. Thanks Athleta for continuing to make this style running short- perfect for my not-so-perfect runner body

Comments about Mesh Racer Run High Rise 3"" Short

#sweepstakes Sadly, I am returning the Mesh Racer Short. I tried an XS which was too big and an XXS which was a tad too small. I need an in-between size..lol. I have an older pair of a similar style of shorts from Athleta in an XS and they fit great. So, I assumed the XS would fit. Anyway, the aqua color is very pretty and I like the style so I am disappointed the shorts did not work for me. While I do appreciate a high rise short, I thought the rise was a bit too high for me. The quailty and fabric is of good quality, what we expect of Athleta. If you can find what fits you, I do recommend buying this style. Good Luck

The perfect high-waisted running shorts! The rise hits exactly where I want it to just above my navel and the inner liner is comfortable without being noticeable for the duration of my 10+ mile runs. I wish they made these in more colors because I would buy them all! #sweepstakes
